Description Condition Check one Check one excellent deteriorated unaltered x original site x good ruins X altered moved date fair unexposed Describe the present and original (if known) physical appearance Lime Rock is a former industrial village located in the southeastern section of the Town of Salisbury, Connecticut. The village lies along the Salmon Fell Kill or Salmon Creek and is divided into two sections joined by the creek. The northwestern portion of the village is centered around the remains of a nineteenth-century blast furnace and is dominated by the wooded slopes of Forge Mountain, which rise over 400 feet above the village (Photograph 1). The southeastern section of the village is downstream of the remains of a large mill pond and contains a variety of former commercial, industrial, and residential structures (Photograph 2). The village is predominantly residen­ tial in character, with an Episcopal church, several small businesses, and one contracting firm. Of approximately 80 structures within the village boundaries, the majority are of 19th-century date, while many of the earlier and later buildings are also connected with the iron industry which gave birth to the community. The earliest structures within the district are of 18th-century or early 19th-century date. These are associated with the early iron industry in Lime Rock, which started in 1735. The earliest extant house is that built in 1767, presumably by Phillip Livingston and located on Lime Rock Road. Another, probably of late 18th- or early 19th-century date is "The Surrey" on Route 112 (Photograph 3). This has a five-bay front with a central doorway, a two-story porch, and dormers in the roof. As the major period of develop­ ment in Lime Rock did not occur until the mid-19th-century, these earlier structures do not play an important visual role. The introduction of a blast furnace to Lime Rock by Holley & Coffing in 1825 marked the transition to large-scale industrial production character­ istic of the mid- and late-19th-century. A replacement of the 1825 furnace,built in 1864 and partially repaired by the Salisbury Association in the early 1970s, remains a dominant feature of the northwestern part of the village (Photographs 1 and 4). The fore-arch, where casting operations took place, is pointed and retains its brick lining. Associated wooden structures, such as the casting shed which once covered the casting area, and the super­ structure where the furnace was charged with ore, limestone flux, and charcoal fuel, are no longer extant. Nearby, however, is a masonry-lined embankment along which the raw materials would be brought in order to charge the fur­ nace from above. Along the riverbank are vast piles of slag now covered with organic debris. On the opposite side of the river, traces remain of the late- 19th-century pipe and powerhouse which provided the cold air blast to operate the furnace, replacing earlier waterpowered bellows. Nearby on Furnace Road is a large brick office building constructed in the Federal style for Holley and Coffing in 1830 (Photograph 5). Two-and-a-half stories in height, the basement level is fully exposed on the western side, where two entrances have later 19th-century hoods above them. Attic windows in the gable ends feature semicircular fanlights. Also related to the furnace is a small 1%-story house which once served as a scale-house for weighing material being brought to the furnace. Probably of late 19th-century date, this has been converted to a residence (Photograph 6).

FHR-8-300 (11-78) United States Department of the Interior Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form Lime Rock Historic District Continuation sheet Salisbury, Ct _________Item number 7_________Page 1_____ story frame residences in the area of the furnace were undoubtedly con­ structed to house workers who tended the furnace. These are of mid-19th- century date, perhaps from the 1860s (Photograph 7). In 1830, the first foundry for remelting and casting the raw pig iron produced by the blast furnace was constructed. Located near where the present highway bridge for Route 112 crosses the Salmon Kill, this building is no longer extant. Soon taken over by Milo Barnum and his son-in-law, Leonard Richardson, this operation became the basis for the Barnum-Richardson Company and a new residential and industrial complex downstream of the furnace area. An illustration from the 1853 map of Salisbury by L. Pagan reveals the design of this foundry building (Photograph 8). Closely associated with this development was the provision of housing and other services for workmen and their families. Transient workers and other guests could be accomodated in a nearby hotel (Photograph 2). Small, 2-story homes were built in the Greek Revival style along Elm Street, now Route 112, probably during the 1830s (Photograph 9). Nearby was a general store and, later, a meat market (Photograph 10). The meat market, late 19th-century in date, features attractive cast-iron supports for the front porch posts, perhaps cast by Barnum-Richardson (Photograph 11). Near the foundry, Leonard Richardson built his home about 1845. Remodelled in the French Second Empire style, the house features a slate-covered mansard roof with elaborate dormers. Below the eaves, the original en­ tablature remains. A 1-story porch envelops the house (Photograph 12). By the 1840s, the firm began to specialize in railroad work and soon be­ came well-known for their cast iron wheels for railroad cars. With the tremendous expansion of railroads in the post Civil War era, Lime Rock prospered. During this period, continued industrial expansion continued along the banks of the Salmon Kill. New shops were added for many of the ancillery functions necessary for the manufacutre of car wheels. These included blacksmithing, pattern-making, and "jingling," or tumbling molds in barrels to clean them. Some of these ancillary buildings survive, al­ though converted to residences. 1. Residential development also continued in the post Civil War era as ex­ emplified by the spread of development along Elm Street (present Route 112) away from the industrial area. The Barnum Richardson Company erected a number of dwellings for employees on the south side of the road. To the north of the road were the larger and more grandiose homes of the Barnums, Richardsons, and their associates. Company housing included a rather modest 2%-story frame dwelling with open-bed pediment, modillions, and a 1-story porch embellished with scroll-work, probably from the 1850s or 1860s (Photograph 13). Later houses include a group of three built in the Queen Anne style, with both clapboard and shingle sidine, brackets beneath the eaves, and a turned pendant and cross bar in the gable ends (Photograph 14). On the opposite side of the street were homes occupied by company FHR-8-300 (11-78) United States Department off the Interior Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form Lime Rock Historic District _ Continuation sheet sa lisburv. C t._________Item number_____/________Page ____ officials and privately owned (Photograph 15). The most impressive surviv­ ing home is that of N.A.McNeil. This home, similar in design to homes built by the Paliser brothers, is dominated by a polygonal turret and a 1-story Eastlake porch (Photograph 16). Varying types of shingles are used for siding, and a panel with foliated ornament takes the place of one of the second floor windows. At the eastern end of the district at the corner of Dugway Road and Route 112, is a stone church building in the High Victorian Gothic Style, Trinity Episcopal Church, designed by the elder Richard Upjohn (Photo­ graph 17).

  • Internal Conflict in Key States in the Democratic Convention of 1880
    INTERNAL CONFLICT IN KEY STATES IN THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION OF 1880 By ALBERT V. HOuSE* {RNE of the more significant of recent monographs dealing with 0 the period of the Civil War, and especially with the accom- plishments of Abraham Lincoln, stresses the fact that the defeat of the Confederacy deprived the concept of "states rights" of plausibility, not only in the South but in the North as well.1 Yet for decades after the war the Democratic party resisted the fact of national supremacy and operated as though the states were still the dominant units in American society. They refused to face the implications of the transformation of the federal union of quasi- autonomous states into the new nation with its national economy, national culture, and national problems. This ostrich-type "head- in-the-sand" attitude was never better illustrated than in the na- tional conventions of the party from 1864 to 1884. These conclaves were almost totally devoid of national vision and courageous statesmanship. They were, rather, mere arenas for a host of suicidal personal, regional, and economic class conflicts. The delegates to these quadriennial assemblies persisted in acting as though the political climate were the same as in the days of Jackson and Van Buren. One college text of a quarter-century ago provides a superb thumbnail summary of this earlier period with the observation that: The Whig and Democratic parties and their successors were a bundle of local, sectional, and class interests, whose cross-sections . were a jig saw puzzle of radicalism and conservatism, national and state rights, personal loyalties and local issues.

Home* The October, 1880 election for state officers was im- portant to the Democratic party in Indiana, and the Novem- ber, 1880 presidential election in the Hoosier State was doubly important to the national fortunes of the party. Yet the Democracy lost both of these political contests by narrow margins of less than 8,000 votes in a total count of approxi- mately 470,000.1 This occurred despite the fact that in early September of 1880 the state had appeared to key observers as safely Democratic.2 Why did these defeats materialize? Literate and vocal participants, as well as historians, have offered a myriad of explanations about the elements, issues, and mistakes which contributed to this debacle. Stress usually has been placed on national factors : e.g., the supposed political ineptitude of the Democratic presidential candidate, General Winfield Scott Hancock ; the unfortunate appearance of the phrase “a tariff for revenue only” in the party platform; the general disorganization and anarchy within the party following the loss of the disputed election of 1876; and the *Albert V.
